...with their mother for a week!
We will pick up my step-daughter on Sunday, come back Monday, then her husband will come Thursday and all will return home on the next Sunday. Oh my!!!
Yes, we have plans....but any "warnings"..ladies? Remember: I've never been a mother so how do you be a grandma??

Grace is 2 years and Ella is 4 months old.
I've got "plans" for a "Mystery Box"...with fun stuff inside!

Remember you are always on their side.
Not exactly sure what you mean by this.
I'm so afraid I'll want to "parent" them and then risk getting "in trouble" with my husband.
I think I have a disadvantage since I've never parented that I just want to "mother" someone...not have a clue as to how to "grandmother" someone!

Just tonight I was talking to a friend asking her how HER mother is with her kids. She said, "I think this is funny that I am teaching YOU how to be a grandmother"! My friend is 14 years younger than I am.
This is really something I do not know how to do, ladies. Never got the chance to "mother", but women still come in and say "oh grandmothering is wonderful!". Well, guess what? I just don't FEEL any connection, know what I mean?
I imagine it IS simple to just "step in", but when you've never done any of it before, it's a whole new experience yet to be learned!

You are prob well into the week activities, but I'll throw this out there... children know when you are genuine and when you're not (most of the time anyway). They are like animals. Be yourself and love them for the little precious souls that they are. You'll do fine.

Thanks, ladies. Embracing them will be the easy part. But since I've not really been around babies much, it's kinda scary.
